The Division has hired a second Administrative Law Judge to
handle its increasingly congested Austin docket. Jordan Woody earned her law
degree from NYU in 2012 and became licensed in Texas a year later. She
specialized in employment law prior to joining the Division of Workers’
Compensation, working at Carter Arnett, LLC, and Thompson, Coe, Cousins &
Irons, LLP. We look forward to seeing her behind the bench.
However, we have not been
looking forward to the departure of San Antonio ALJ John Bull, who left the
Division on June 30. Judge Bull joined the agency in July 2024 and
quickly established himself as a thoughtful and astute adjudicator. No
word on what might be in store for Judge Bull, but he will be missed.
Taking Judge Bull’s place in San Antonio will be the current Lubbock ALJ Sandra
Schuck-Garrant. That transfer is pending the hiring of a new
Administrative Law Judge in that field office.
